Astroflex(hurricane screen) is a specially created polypropylene fabric, with a strengthened sewn edge border.

It might also be used throughout the year to control breeze or shades. This is our genuine "hurricane fabric". It is a magnificent option outside of HVHZ or to be used as secondary protection. The installtion of Astroflex is approximately $11sf installed price. On the other hand, Astroguard (hurricane fabric) is a resin coated ballistic nylon fabric with an edge sealed using heat. It is not transparent, but translucent. Astroguard has a greater impact than Astroflex. Astroguard is the leading hurricane fabric in the industry. The installtion of Astroguard is approximately $12sf installed price.

The weight of metal shutters and their sharp edges, make installation and deployment a headache for owners. Besides, it is highly risky to install this product on higher floors or when a storm is approaching and winds speeds increase. Impact and wind rating meet the standards on newer panels; nevertheless, the protection level is not as high as other products on the market at comparable cost (less than 1/2 of Astroguard’s impact rating). Metal panels are also heavy and not really easy to manage, and bring out storage issues as well. The installation of metal shutters costs approximately $11/sf.

This kind of shutter is more accurate for those customers who need a rapid deployment as the shutter is permanently attached to the structure. It may also be safer as many accordion shutters can be locked with a key, and can prevent thefts. The cost of it is approximately $18.00 per square foot.

Impact glass is intended to withstand impacts. So, if the glass cracks, the fragments will stick to the interlayer and the shards will remain within the frame. Windows which are made of impact glass comply with the Nation’s harshest building codes. According to these codes, windows must resist a nine-pound 2x4 traveling at 50 feet per second (34 miles per hour). On the contrary, Astroguard impact tests at more than double this rate, even on more difficult tests to pass.Even though the most expensive hurricane protection option is the most practical one for commercial structures, it is often the most unobtainable for most homeowners. It is claimed that with impact glass, there is no need for adding hurricane shutters. Nevertheless,the Miami Herald reports that even highly resistant glass can be penetrated by fast projectiles, so, the best combination, if possible, would be impact-resistant glass and shutters. We do not only offer swapping out entry doors to impact rated ones if requested, but also impact windows. The cost is around $60 sf. We provide impact/hurricane screens to protect your costly impact windows & doors. Besides, we help reduce your probability of having to file an insurance claim whenever a storm damages your impact windows. The price for single-glazed impact glass is $55/sq. Ft and for double-glazed glass $70/sq. ft.
